Polymer film as starch azure container for the easy diastase activity determination in honey González Ceballos, Lara Fernández Muiño, Miguel Ángel Osés Gómez, Sandra María Sancho Ortiz, María Teresa Ibeas Cortes, Saturnino Reglero Ruiz, José A. Vallejos Calzada, Saúl Honey Diastase activity Starch azure Polymer Film A new original application for a polyacrylic film based on the monomers 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (NNDA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2HEA) and methylmethacrylate (MMA) as a starch azure container has been set up for a simple determination of honey diastase activity. The proposed method is based on the correlation of reducing sugars generated during the enzymatic process with the Schade reference assay. The polyacrylic film is charged with starch azure acting as a container for this substance; thus, the starch does not interfere in the measurement of reducing sugars, so that the diastase activity is easily calculated. The method has been contrasted with Schade method, showing good correlation and differences under 0.4% between methods in some honey samples. The polyacrylic film has great potential for the routine honey diastase activity assessment in small laboratories, dramatically reducing analysis time and cost. 2021-04-05T10:55:53Z 2021-04-05T10:55:53Z 2021-04-05T10:55:53Z 2021-09 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 0308-8146 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/5676 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.129629 eng Food Chemistry. 2021, V. 355, 129629 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.129629 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/MINECO/MAT2017-84501-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/JCyL/BU306P18 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/JCyL/BU041G18 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Elsevier
